Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], July 3 : Kolkata High Court on Thursday sought a report from the West Bengal Government on the three Public Interest Litigation (PIL) regarding the alleged gangrape at the South Calcutta Law college in Kasba area.

He further alleged that there was an attempt to "tamper" with the First Information Report to change the name of the accused.
Mishra told ANI, "We visited everyone there and met other college staff also. When we saw some documents, it showed that some tampering had been done with the FIR. By looking at the document, it looks like someone attempted to change the name of the accused... We tried to talk to the victim, but it looks like the police are hiding the family of the victim and the family members... The guard is the best witness in this case, but they have also arrested him and are not letting him meet anyone..."
"We will submit our report; however, that is a different thing, how the government of Mamata Banerjee will work on this..." he said.
